Guest Bloggers FAQ

Last updated February 2018.
I am always eager to have guest contributors on my blog, whether it's a one off guest post or possibly something regular. It's great to see hear others share their ideas, see different styles of writing and admire great photos. If this sounds like your cup of tea then keep on reading.

Why do you want guest bloggers?

I always wanted to write for other bloggers and found not many people offered this without a cost. I started offering the chance for other bloggers to post on my site when I first started this blog to allow fellow bloggers to express their selves, showcase their writing and offer them exposure. Though that is still the case, I often suffer with lack of inspiration so to have guest posts ensures my posts stay varied and consistent.

How would this benefit me?

Exposure for your site and social media platforms as they should be linked within the post and they will be shared across my own accounts to promote you and the post. As your site is linked, so not only does this give you exposure but it's also a back link which contributes to your Domain Authority which is of course even more important if you are a blogger. Writing a guest post also allows you to gain experience and confidence in writing, especially if my blog topics vary from your own.Please bare in mind if you are a brand or you are writing on behalf of a brand this may not be for you as guest posts are deemed as free for bloggers only.

What posts would you be after?

I'm looking for any new posts that would coincide with current posts under the main headings of beauty and lifestyle, although I do encourage new and varied content.

If you're stuck for inspiration then have a browse through my blog and see if you any ideas spring to mind, but try to show your own creativity in your writing as all posts need to be original and not published elsewhere. Read previous guest posts right here.

How do I take part?

Contact me via a email at jessicalaurenhatcher@hotmail.com with your posts idea(s) and site link; if you already have a post written and ready then send me that too. I will also encourage you to include a short paragraph about you to add in at the top of the post with your site and social media links. Your post must include a minimum of one photo for thumbnail purposes.

What happens after I contact you my ideas?

If I like your idea(s) I will email you back asking for any details I still need. We can then discuss any minor editing details, publication dates etc.

I need more information?

If there's anything else you need to know either comment on this post, contact me via email or for a quick response head to my Twitter.
